Chapter 149: Battle Report, the Emperor's Troubles
Camp in the mountains,
There was no way to leave for the time being, but Xiao Yunxi didn't feel distressed at all. She set up tents, one large and one small, and started a fire to cook.
The world is big, eating is the most important thing, and nothing is more important than your health.
Her long hair was casually tied up, and she used chopsticks instead of a hairpin. Her face was rosy and fair, and she seemed to be glowing as she concentrated on picking up the ingredients.
Zhou Jin's anxiety seemed to be soothed, and his peach blossom eyes were full of tears. "So what if the northern barbarians closed the mountain? I'll settle the score with them after we finish eating."
"I'll wash the rice."
The couple worked in perfect harmony, squatting beside the campfire and complementing each other. No one came to disturb them, and everyone had a smile on their face.
Zheng Tianming's belly was shaking with envy and jumping up and down. He looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, feeling very depressed. How could he eat so much while fleeing?
I don’t know if Wan’er will dislike that he wants to eat vegetarian food.
His thoughts coincided with Xiao Yunxi's. He had been eating a lot of meat and fish recently, and had rice porridge with pickles and plenty of steamed buns in the evening.
Zheng Tianming is a typical example of someone who says one thing and does another.
If he is a real vegetarian, he will think that rice porridge, steamed buns and pickles do not suit his temperament.
"It would be nice if there was some meat. Salted duck eggs would be fine too."
The oily salted duck eggs have a crunchy texture and are a perfect match with porridge.
Niu Niu's little faces were squeezed together, and she was torn between conscience and desire. Uncle Zheng was so pitiful. Should she give it to him?
Her little hands reached into her pockets and took something out.
"Uncle Zheng, give...."
In her chubby little hands, there was a salted duck egg and a small piece of beef jerky, and her round little face was full of heartache.
Zheng Tianming felt soft in his heart, picked up Niuniu, and kissed her smiling face.
"Uncle won't eat it, save it for Niuniu."
Niuniu tilted her head, looking unusually serious:
"Mom said that delicious food should be shared with good friends. Uncle Zheng gave Niuniu a lot of delicious food. He is a good friend."
So cute!
Zheng Tianming really wanted to take Niuniu back and raise her. He suddenly wanted to have his own child.
Glancing at the little treasure who was wolfing down his food,
When I have a child in the future, it must be a daughter. A daughter is a warm and caring little cotton-padded jacket. A son is so annoying.
He looked towards the place where the village chief's family was camping, not knowing whether Wan'er would accept him. After experiencing a life-and-death escape, he felt that he should be braver.
Tang Wan'er seemed to notice someone was looking at her and followed the gaze. Zheng Tianming immediately lowered his head and concentrated on dealing with the steamed buns.
brave?
Men should be more reserved. He is not Fish Leong, so why does he need any courage?
As night fell, everyone returned to their tents.
Because this place is close to the county town, the height of the surrounding hills is limited, and the northern barbarians may come to kill them at any time, so they chose to camp on the hillside.
If the northern barbarians come over, they will immediately go down the mountain from the back and run back. They can also use the height to delay them, but there is one disadvantage - the wind is strong!
Although the tent is simple, it can at least block the wind.
Xiao Yunxi took her three children to the big tent, took out playing cards and various snacks, and had a lot of fun. She didn't even notice Zhou Jin's resentful face outside the tent.
We are a family of five, so why exclude him?
Damn tent, should have been bigger.
He looked at the mini tent next to the big tent and felt that life was no longer beautiful. Even more miserable than him was Emperor Zhao Heng who was far away in the capital.
The sudden resurrection of the Crown Prince made him very angry.
He was a little happy that his favorite grandson was still alive, but not much.
The Crown Prince holds the righteous position, and many forces are involved behind the scenes, which will affect the plans of weakening the Shen and Zhou families.
of course,
This matter is just annoying. No matter how difficult it is to deal with, it is an internal problem. He is in good health and in his prime. He has time to sort it out slowly.
The problems in the northwest have seriously threatened the survival of Daxia.
"Old Dog, have you verified the Northwest War Report?"
Wei Zhong stuck his butt out and crawled on the ground:
"Your Majesty, I have verified that the Northern Barbarians breached Tiger Head Cliff before the majority of His Royal Highness Prince Qing arrived. They split into two groups, one to surround the city, the other to block His Royal Highness. Your Highness was forced to fight in the open, killing 5 enemies and suffering over 7 casualties. He currently has no strength to fight again."
Fighting a field battle with the Northern Barbarians without any preparation, the casualty ratio was close to 1:1. With this record, he wanted to see how arrogant those old guys in the Five Army Commandery could be in the future.
Earlier he had questioned the fourth brother for his slow marching speed, but now it seems that the fourth brother is taking precautions, being far-sighted, making plans, and having a broad vision.
Wei Zhong hesitated for a moment and added
"The defeat in the Northwest War was mainly due to the capture of Beisheng Pass and Hutou Cliff. The battle report of the capture of Beisheng Pass was sent from the capital. The reason was Murong's reselling of military equipment, which led to the defeat."
He did not include any personal opinions, but just reminded the emperor that the battle report on the defeat at Beisheng Pass was drafted by Yan Hao, and now Yan Hao has defected.
I'm afraid that battle report is not very credible, there is a lot of water involved.
Zhao Heng's eyes faced the candlelight, revealing an elusive calmness, like the calm before a storm, with a devastating brutality.
for a long time,
Wei Zhong felt like a century had passed, and his back was wet with sweat.
"Tell Lao Si to defend the city."
"Notify the Marquis of Zhenbei, and have the Jinwu Guards send urgent support to the northwest. Not only must they bring back the Crown Prince, but they must also address the urgent needs of the northwest."
"As for the Murong family, they are temporarily imprisoned and awaiting further action."
After a pause, Zhao Heng added quietly:
"Call the second one."
Wei Zhong mourned for the King of Chu in his heart. What was about to happen was probably a tear-jerking drama of loving father and filial son, so it should not be watched casually.
When I received the emperor's urgent message of eight hundred miles,
Zhou Yu brought the Jinwu Guards and 800 Zhou family soldiers to Yanguan at full speed, and used the emergency contact information given by Zhou Jin to contact the secret guards.
"After they bypassed Hutou Cliff and crossed the mountains, they should be in Qiushui County, which is currently occupied by the Northern Barbarians."
After confirming Zhou Jin's location, the next step is to rescue him.
Kingo Guard has 4 defenders, Kingo Midfielder, Kingo Defender, Kingo Left Back, Kingo Right Back,
The Jinwu Vanguard and Jinwu Rear Guard are two of the twelve positions established by Emperor Gaozu. They are powerful in combat.
Jinwu Left Guard and Jinwu Right Guard are two of the ten guards expanded after Zhao Heng ascended the throne. Their combat effectiveness is stable.
The emperor wanted to pick up the crown prince and support the city, so he had to divide his troops. Zhou Yu was very conflicted.
From a righteous perspective, the capital city is more important, as the people of Daxia live there.
He is not a saint.
Both family and country are important. If I have to choose,
He took the Jinwu Vanguard, Jinwu Rearguard and 800 private soldiers to Qiushui County to pick up the people. The Jinwu Left Guard and Jinwu Right Guard were sent to the prefectural city.
The Northern Barbarian Army is said to have 20 soldiers. Even if all four Jinwu Guards were deployed, it would be useless. Whether the left and right guards went or the front and rear guards went to the provincial capital, the outcome of the battle could not be determined.
Besides,
Is there really a shortage of people in the capital city?
After all, he has been marching and fighting for so many years, and he can fight against the northern barbarians in the field with a 1:1 casualty ratio, and defend the city with a 1:5 ratio of troops, so it should be easy to hold.
Do you need these few people from the Jinwu Guards?
